Are you feeling irritable and angry for no reason, hate sitting with your back to the room or get triggered by some tiny little thing? Has anxiety or depression felt like it’s been through the roof lately? Does your significant other tell you that you react way out of proportion to the smallest things? If you have no patience for incompetent bosses or lazy coworkers, it may have a cause you haven't considered. Unresolved trauma can be sneaky and affect us in ways we would never expect. Whether the trauma is from your early childhood or months ago, the symptoms of trauma will not let go until you process them.

Intimacy is often impeded by an inability to know your self or to see yourself accurately. Often we loose that sense of self in relationships which then promotes agitation and depression. We then take on addictive behaviors to avoid feeling reality. Difficulties in childhood often does not equip us with the skills of boundaries which is the only thing that helps to maintain a sense of who we are while remaining connected in a relationship. I can help you develop the skills of being relational and still be you.
